Hi bicycle tutor board members!
I have a question for you all and the question is: how are the bicycle skewers measured?
I have some an old quick release set that broke, where the small nut holding the metal cap where the handle is came out.
In any case, I was planning on replacing the skewer but saw that there are so many sizes. I need about 110mm in the front and 145mm in the back but some of the skewers are like 130mm or 165mm. They're also on ebay so i dont know how reliable the sellers are at measuring their skewers.
So I was planning on going to the bicycle shop to see if they have any but even then, how would I know how big the skewers would have to be?
Where do I measure?
Thank you so much.
